Trinidad Rover

Zero surprise with that outcome - Invited pressure for the last 30 minutes. Continued to the the ball away. De Neve has no brain. Missed too many chances to win it. VI needs to teach this lot game management.

Not particularly strange, there are no other fit centre backs at the club.

No wonder our gates are crap. We are woeful at home. Just awful.

Is Tavares injured or has he been deemed crap by the regime? Totally disappeared, unsurprisingly having seen him play in the first couple of games. Shocking signing.

That’s a red card

Oh Makhtar. Feel sorry for him almost, he is shocking.

Pears is a very bad goalkeeper

What’s Pears up to there?! Pratt showing lack of ability and football nous with jumping in.

https://www.reuters.com/world/india/venkys-india-swings-loss-second-quarter-weak-poultry-pricing-2025-11-07/ Largely macro factors but an 8% SP drop after a single quarter is significant. Reading the article looks as though they are (still) trying to diversify into other ventures. Rovers are one of the many that have likely failed to supplement the core business. With any business or P&L, when you get a negative top line the first thing that they will do is control the spend. We won't be seeing any investment for a while.....or, ever? Bleak times over at Venky towers. What a shame for them.

Looks like a sensible appointment, which is not a given with this lot. Hope he can do a good job and bring a few more of the academy lads through - recent squads suggest he has a job on his hands!

That is a big, big shame and blow to the new found momentum. Toth has been magnificent this season - his match winning save at the weekend for example. Glass half full....Pears may see this as a chance to put himself in the shop window and therefore actually put on a good show? (Ability permitting....) Hoping Wharton is not out for an equally long time.

Makhtar is so so so bad

Oh oh.

Morishita after a (successful) spell in Poland. I can guarantee Manchester will be less of an 'adjustment'.

Believe by our standards we spent 'decent' money on Tavares. So far proving to be what most expected, crap. This will not go down well with our resident dictators. Expect Gestede is fuming and currently thinking up an excuse/blaming the Telegraph and fans for being mean.

That crowd, or lack of, speaks volumes. Truly sad.

Completely out of his depth. End of.

If De Neve is the answer, what on earth is the question.

We are going down. Woeful.

Exactly where we should be in the league. We’re not very good unfortunately. Big concerns about Ismael only growing now. His results record is woeful for us. He can’t set a team up to defend and when he gets that right, we are dire going forward. Bought himself all the time in the world with his project/transition nonsense. Rudy wouldn’t dare do anything as it reflects worse on him. Cantwell looks better this year though. And Alebeiosu looks good. Rest pants.

Credit where it’s due, Albeiosu is a very good signing

Bleak all round so far. Seeing Ewood so empty is incredibly sad.

Perhaps not, but a proactive club would try? Or do we just hold our hands up and do nothing? Dont ask, dont get.

Does anyone have any confidence that the club (without a CEO…) will put forward a stronger case than Ipswich for the result to stand. Ipswich will likely already have got a lawyer involved and a strong argument put together. Match will be replayed.

I hope this leads to a more progressive and capable coach coming in. The U21s have been poor this season and majority of last. With the investment Category 1 requires, it needs a top coach.
